Li Zhi was happy and excited, and felt very proud to be held in his arms by his eldest brother, he was only a five-year-old child, and he didn't understand the battle in the court.

Out of admiration for Li Yun, the little guy couldn't help but cheer coquettishly, his pride came from happiness, but adults can be as pure as children.

Li Shimin blurted out almost subconsciously, and looked at Li Yundao with a shocked face: "You chose him?" ”

This question was very abrupt, but the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knew what the emperor meant.

Fang Xuanling had already frowned, Li Xiaogong's eyes were shining gently, and the crown prince Li Chengqian was trembling, feeling an irrepressible panic and fear in his heart.

"How can it be a childish slave? Why are they childish slaves? What is he holding a slave for? Is it really because of a mat? Damn, why don't I get the mat out ......"

Almost instantaneous, countless thoughts had flashed through Li Chengqian's mind, Li Yun was close at hand, but he was hugging his younger brother, listening to his brother's happy and excited cheers, Li Chengqian only felt that his heart sank to the bottom.

By the side of the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Tai, the king of Wei, also sank in his heart, Li Tai looked at his younger brother with envy in Li Yun's arms, and really hoped that the child who was held could be himself.

At this time, Li Shimin seemed to have suppressed the shock in his heart, but the emperor's tone was still abnormal, and he asked Li Yundao again: "The third family, this younger brother you decided to take care of?" ”

The Emperor tried to remain calm when he asked this, but everyone could see that the palm of his hand holding the dragon chair trembled a few times.

The hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are also turbulent, no one thought that King Zhao would actually pick up Li Zhi, at their level, any little thing must be analyzed, King Zhao hugging Li Zhi seems to be casual, but who can be sure that this hug is really casual?

After all, King Zhao just said a sentence: If you give me the mat, then I will sit with you.

If this sentence is put on the battle between the emperor and the heir, it can immediately be regarded as King Zhao supporting Li Zhi. Since ancient times, the battle between emperors and heirs has been a more crazy event than the battle on the battlefield, and many families will be turned into ashes overnight because they are on the wrong team.

Therefore, it is very cautious to stand in line and will not make a choice unless it is absolutely necessary.

In the entire court hall, almost a needle drop could be heard, only Li Zhi's innocent and coquettish laughter continued to sound, lingering in the ears of the ministers in the hall.

"It's a great start to be able to laugh casually in the court...... "Several important ministers quietly glanced at each other, and for some reason such a thought flashed in their hearts.

Li Shimin opened his mouth for the third time, his tone had become solemn, and he asked Li Yundao again: "King Zhao, give me a reply." ”

This time, he didn't call the third family, nor did he call the stinky boy, the emperor used the court title, highlighting the importance he attached to this matter.

Li Yun looked up curiously, with a confusion on his face that no one could understand, and pretended to be stunned: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" I'm just hugging my brother? He gave me the cushion, did he let him sit on the cold masonry? I'm a big brother, how can I let my brother sit on the ground, he happens to be a little guy, and it feels right to hold him in my arms......"

"Then why don't you hug the prince?"

Li Shimin almost blurted out, followed by another sentence, and then said: "Or go and hug Li Tai, the king of Wei." ”

These words made the crown prince Li Chengqian full of expectations, and also made the king of Wei Li Tai full of expectations, and the two princes felt their hearts pounding, and they very much hoped that Li Yun would be able to answer, saying yes, 'That's good, I'll hug them too!'" ’

It's a pity that Li Yun snorted and laughed, looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, how old are Cheng Qian and Li Tai?" He is fifteen years old this year, so tall, Cheng Qian is barely fine, and Li Tai is very fat......"

Li Shimin was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Yes, Cheng Qian is very tall, and Qingque is fat. ”

"Right!"

Li Yun smiled and sat cross-legged on the mat.

He put Li Zhi's little guy on his lap, half-wrapped it in his arms and continued: "I hugged Li Zhi because he was the youngest, there is no other reason, it is strange to say, how do I feel that you are shocked today, and you ministers, all of them are also surprised, strange and strange, really strange......"

"Weird fart!"

Many ministers hated and scolded in their hearts, and said secretly: "Who called you the king of Xifu Zhao, every time you act unexpectedly, try this matter today with someone else, see if we will be surprised?" That is, you are invincible on the battlefield, and you are extremely rich on the battlefield, you alone are equivalent to half the sky of the Tang Dynasty, how can we not be careful with your words and deeds. ”

Of course, these slanders only dare to say it in their hearts, and they must not let Li Yun see it on their faces, not only can they not let Li Yun see the slander and dissatisfaction, but they also have to show a heartfelt and cordial and humble smile.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yun deeply.

The emperor was obviously relieved, but he was still a little uneasy, and solemnly asked the last sentence: "Are you sure you are just hugging the childish slave?" ”

Li Yun took Li Zhi in his arms and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm just playing with my brother." ”

"That's good!"

Li Shimin nodded slowly, and finally stopped asking about it, and he didn't know whether he was really relieved or suppressed his suspicions in his heart.

At this time, it was already three poles, but many government affairs in the court were not dealt with at all, and the morning was full of some contentions, which can be called the first meaningless early dynasty in ancient times, such as Li Yun and Wang Qi fought first, and the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan was driven out of the court, and then the Wenchen and the military generals competed, and Li Yun sat in the middle with Li Zhi in his arms.

These things are meaningful to the court, but they are of little significance to the people of the world.

Li Shimin looked up at the door of the main hall and muttered: "It's not early, can the secretaries have something to do?" ”

"Yes!"

A four-grade official stood up, bowed and said: "Today, there is a delegation sent by the Qiuci Kingdom, with a group of musicians who are very good at music, they are going to charter a garden on the bank of the Baqiao, and then have a musical competition with the Tang Dynasty, the envoys of the Qiuci Kingdom have already submitted the credentials, and filed the matter with the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, they have only one request, hoping to reduce taxes if they win......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at Li Yun subconsciously, and explained carefully: "King Zhao opened a trading center in Fanyang, and the merchants of the world exchanged goods, and the trading center had to draw one out of fifty every time, and the merchants thought that this was already a heavy tax, but King Zhao set up a tax yamen in Chang'an City, stipulating that the merchants must go to the tax yamen to pay taxes, so repeated extraction, the merchants complained a little, they thought that this was the injustice of the Tang Dynasty to foreign people, because our local merchants of the Tang Dynasty did not need to pay customs duties!" ”

The word tariff has become popular in Datang now, and even the people on the street can say some truth, thinking that this tariff is the most awesome existence in Datang.

The common people think it's awesome, but the ministers of the DPRK and the central government help outsiders speak, and Li Shimin is obviously a little displeased, because these tariffs are all the income of Datang.

Although the emperor was unhappy in his heart, he did not scold him, things in the court have always needed to be argued, and Li Shimin could not end up in person.

Sure enough, I saw a prince of the imperial family stand up, directly refute the minister's words, and asked: "In the ninth year of Wude, how much was the salary of the five-rank courtier?" ”

Without waiting for the minister to answer, he continued to question and said: "When Zhenguan was 2 years old, how much was the salary of the Wupin courtier?" ”

With only these two questions, the minister's face had changed slightly.

However, this prince still did not let him go, and asked again: "In the two years after the establishment of the Fanyang Trading Center, how much is the salary of the Wupin courtiers......

Basically, there is no need to answer, Yulu is the treatment that every minister pays the most attention to, and since Li Yun appeared in the Tang Dynasty, the minister's Yulu has increased fivefold.

This prince is well versed in the way of fighting, first started with questioning, and instantly occupied the commanding heights of the truth, and then began to refute the minister's words, and sneered: "Eating the meals of the court, helping outsiders dig corners, your money has increased fivefold, but the market price of buying things has decreased by fifty percent, so high and low, how comfortable life is, this king wants to ask you, can you still be so comfortable after the cancellation of the tax yamen?" ”

The minister's face was slightly red, and he defended: "Wechen didn't say that he wanted to cancel the tax yamen, what Wechen meant was that King Zhao gave taxes to Shangjia." ”

"Fart!"

Wang Jue broke his mouth and said angrily: "King Zhao gives people taxes, who will help Hebei?" A few years ago, Hebei Province was full of hunger, did you, a five-grade courtier, take out your own money? ”

As he spoke, his eyes sharpened, and he suddenly said: "How much money does the mission of the Qiuzi Kingdom give you, so that you can help them dig the corners of the Tang Dynasty." ”

The minister hurriedly shook his head, and said with a face full of righteous indignation: "This official is as honest as water, and there has never been any corruption. ”

"Whew!"

Wang Jue smiled sarcastically, turned his head to look at Li Yun and said: "King Zhao, let's get to know each other, my father is King Huainan, and I am the King of Jiaodong, according to the seniority of the royal family, you have to call me a big uncle." ”

King of Jiaodong?

Isn't that Lee Do-yan?

Li Yun hurriedly bowed, and after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't just give his hand, so he put Li Zhi down gently and stood up from the mat himself.

Li Daoyan smiled and waved his hand at him, then pointed to the minister just now, and said: "This person's name is Zheng Kuan, there are five Zhuangzi outside Chang'an City, and the people have a name for him, jokingly calling him Zheng Plucking, but he is an official of Honglu Temple, and he generally only collects the filial piety of foreign envoys, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Li Yun pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about the court, but I have some thoughts about the common things in the world, this Lord Zheng even called him plucked by the common people, it can be seen that the name of receiving gifts is already known to everyone, but he can still stay in the court, there must be an unspeakable reason." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and only after a long time did he say in an uncertain tone: "Although the geese have plucked their feathers, perhaps it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery......"
